No fence here, except for a very short one at the back between our yard and open space. I like having the yards open...trees and bushesprovide some privacy, though I don't do many "private" things in the back yard.

This post reminds me of the people that live next to my parent's house. They have a ginormous 7-foot wood plank fence so you can't see into their yard.

If you saw their yard, you'd understand why. In addition to the inground swimming pool taking up 70% of their yard, there are two wood sheds, a back deck, a goldfish pond, a clotheline area and a riding lawnmover. (as if there's any grassy area left to mow!)

My parents hate the fence, but I just tell them. "As long as that fence is there, your property value will not fall."

I don't care much for fences. I would rather just have some bushes or nothing connecting the lawns. I do understand letting dogs out but really the dog owners should be walking them. We used a long cable to hook up our dog and tried walking her often.
